I provide commentary on political economy, police and prosecutorial abuse, and whatever else might come to mind.
Let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Amos 5:24 (ESV)

Before going further, I will note that I have heard (through the grapevine, of course) that the judges and prosecutors in the LMJC have been unhappy with my editorial comments. So be it, but I have some advice for them as well: do what is right, follow the law, stop lying and protecting liars, and stop fabricating charges and documents, and I then will stop telling the truth about the daily outrages that occur every day in the courtrooms of that God-forsaken judicial district.

Furthermore, a very prominent attorney told me earlier this year that in judicial matters, "Georgia is Atlanta surrounded by Alabama." I believe that his comments were a grave insult -- to Alabama. At least Alabama authorities refused to bring charges against Brad Wade for lack of evidence, but the LMJC of Georgia did not let non-evidence stand in the way of railroading this innocent man into prison.

So, while Judge Van Pelt and others may not like my comments, I believe they are well-founded, and if these people are not willing at least to follow the law, then perhaps they need to find another line of work for which they will not be subject to public criticism. I know none of these people; I only know their deeds.

So, let us go back to the hearing in which Judge Van Pelt, unlike "judge" Brian Outhouse, at least agreed to follow the law he was sworn to uphold. The judge said that Mr. Mulkey had not violated the law, according to the legislature. However, he added that he did not like the law, so his "not guilty" verdict was given with reluctance.

This brings us to a most interesting point, one that Van Pelt refused to address. Alan Norton, who is bringing charges against Eric Echols in defiance of a Georgia Appeals Court ruling on the very same kind of case originally was assigned to the case. (This is another example of the "We do this because we can do this" attitude that Georgia prosecutors have, despite the code of ethics handed down by the Georgia State Bar that clearly forbids this kind of conduct. However, since the Bar refuses to discipline prosecutors no matter how egregious their conduct, we can expect lawlessness from those who claim to be upholding the law.)

Because Norton could not be there, Chris "Alberto-Facebook" Arnt was the ADA bringing the charges. So, we see yet another example of how Arnt spits on the law. As I noted in my previous post, Arnt and his partners-in-crime Len "The Racist-Misogynist-The Man" Gregor had no problems suborning perjury -- and obvious perjury at that -- along with forging documents. Once again, I find it curious that a man who openly commits felonies -- and subornation of perjury and forging documents are felonies -- is permitted to claim to be "enforcing the law."

In fact, we should look more closely at Van Pelt's decision. Since it was clear that Mr. Mulkey was not breaking the law, Van Pelt should have dismissed the charges and given an apology to Mr. Mulkey for having him dragged into court in the first place. Instead, Van Pelt basically declared that while he wished he could have convicted Mr. Mulkey and sent him to prison -- even though the man is no criminal -- even he could not do that. And we are supposed to "celebrate" these moments of "justice." God help us.

Unfortunately, Mr. Mulkey's ordeal is not over. From another grapevine, I hear that the authorities are unhappy that Mr. Mulkey has chosen to publicly proclaim his innocence, as opposed to being silent and letting the police and prosecutors run all over him and destroy his rights. This is amazing. The authorities have no problem with making outrageous public statements and bringing false charges, but when a citizen directly affected by this illegal behavior speaks up, then the people in the system get up their backs and display their anger.

The "molestation" charges against Mr. Mulkey do not pass the "smell test." Furthermore, their star "witness," Mr. Mulkey's own daughter, has said the charges were not true, and that her relatives in Washington had their own ulterior motives for making the allegations.

Unfortunately, we are dealing with Georgia, and that is enough. Georgia is a state where prosecutors and judges and police are not bound by the law, and where even an admission by a judge that a defendant broke no law is Really Big News.

The players of the Georgia "justice" system remind me of spoiled children who decide to change the rules of games in order to make sure that they can win, and when they lose, they throw fits. With children, however, it really is a game; in Georgia, we are seeing the utter destruction of innocent life.

Jerri Lynn, Judge Van Pelt is top dog of the judges in LMJC. He really does lead by example.

Bill, has anyone ever looked into why the authorities in WA and OR, or is it Idaho, never took the charges against John Mulkey, even though the child accuser supposedly told living in those states of these alleged crimes? Honestly, I had issues with my ex. He lives in CO and of course, I'm in GA. I tried calling the local police there. They checked out my concerns and told me there were problems and they would keep an eye on the situation until it resolved. I don't understand why GA even got involved, except maybe they thought Mr. Mulkey was doing all this supposed molestation while working away from home and caring for his dying wife. Yeah. Do these people even have a clue as to how exhausted he must have been on a constant basis? It could have happened but after reading the background on John's website yesterday, it sounds more like his in-laws only want to bilk the federal government for as much money as they can get each month. Which begs the question, since Mr. Mulkey appears to be a responsible parent, how much did his in-laws get from him to help him care for his child each month? This looks to be as twisted a case for motive as Tonya Craft's was. Pray Bartow County can seat a jury with as much intelligence as Catoosa County did.

I have excerpted and linked this and "The Ordeal of John Mulkey"to my BikerorNot blog line at http://www.bikerornot.com/docellis124 and I tweeted these to Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/docellis124 , to MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/docellis124, and to LinkedIn at http://www.linkedin.com/in/docellis124 Thank you for writing these

As for the judges and prognosticutors in LMJD disliking your comments, I refer you all back to my previous post about bringing back the practice of dueling. If they don't like what you have to say, they can either man up, demand satisfaction, or by default admit that what you are saying is in fact the truth.

So the judges and prosecutors in the LMJC are unhappy with the truthful comments Dr. Anderson posts here. Wonderful! Reminds me of a statement by President Harry Truman. “I’m not giving’em hell. I tell the truth and they think it’s hell.”

I for one am glad to know that the truth posted here is raising the collective blood pressure in Perjury Central. Run an honest court, concern yourselves with questions of honesty rather than conviction rates, operate a truly honest system and none of these Gestapo agents will need to worry about anything Dr. Anderson or anyone else posts about their system. Until then, keep up the fire!

KC,If it was alleged to have happened in Georgia, only Georgia has jurisdiction.

*******

On Mulkey’s child in CPS custody; most states have a time limit of about 24 months, after adding in all the extensions judges give them without much question, so that would normally be a factor in his situation.

Most states also have CPS procedures that allow them to hold custody of the child while charges are pending and then start their process afterwards, but it is much quicker than 24 months usually.

In the matter of being indicted but not arraigned to face charges, I’ve never seen anything on a time limit for that.

Does anyone know if Georgia has a set time limit for an indictment to expire if there is no arraignment held?

“If these statutes had been like we’ve been living with for however many years the outcome today would be quite different. As it is, the legislature has tinkered with the statutes and really messed things up for us.”

I think this ruling is clear evidence that you are getting to them. Under different circumstances (i.e., the light was not shining on the rats) Van Pelt would have made quite a different ruling. But I think he knew the spotlight was on him and therefore he had no choice but to follow the law. While he tries to blame the legislature as his "out" (because there is no way he would blame you publicly) I think it is certain that he was merely rationalizing the fact that he had to do the right thing. That sounds odd now that I read it. Normally, one rationalizes bad behavior, not lawful behavior. But not in the LMJC, they actually have to rationalize lawful behavior down there. Incredible.

We have not had the article officially accepted, and it usually takes a while to get things done with Reason. I believe that our article will be accepted because it is relevant across the country and because of the role of the federal government in these cases.

When (or if) it is published, I will make sure to post a link, for it will come first on-line and then to a paper copy. Thanks for asking.

The reason Alabama did not touch the Brad Wade case was because, they had no evidence to go on John was 15 yrs. old. and it was his word against Brad's. They said he was to old,And it was just verbal then. And Rhona did not say she saw anything, They went to Jackson Co. and talked to Doyle York, and to Dekalb Co.and talked to Rhonda Jackson, And Rhona did not say she saw anything. But she pulled a Joal Hinke in Dade Co. Ga.she Remember she saw something. And guess what Gregor went with it. Lie after lie And two ex-wife'sAnd he is in Prison.People this could happen to any of us we better wake up. There is no justice out there..

This is only a small portion of the nightmare - In November Attorney Larry Stagg, Election Chairman and treasurer of Van Pelt's Election went in secret and removed children from a fit mother thru ex parte. NEVER had there ever been an incident nor even a claim of anything but there was a big check in it for litigators and no kore child support payments of 1800 a month and a chance for a jealous new 5th...1 2 3 4 yes 5th wife to win.

The mother's friends rallied, filled the court room while Van Pelt played on his laptop and ignored all testimony. No one testified for the abductors. The friends then placed a billboard on 2A which got media attention for a petition to change laws in Georgia.

Van Pelt, after doing the damage and giving the children to a father and step mother with violent criminal records and documented mental disorders which required 2 years in a brain damage facility but who have a large trust - recused himself when the friends posted online what was going on. Bolling Wood (wood as in Pinocchio puppet) was new judge with an electronic memo over the case saying that it all still went to Van Pelt!!! The mother's attorney Stultz then quit and gave back every penny and was gone.

Stagg brought the mother before Wood about the billboard - an American right to petition your government. Wood even said he would have a problem with taking action because of the Constitution. On a Friday at 2:45 in Atlanta her lawyer received via fax the order that said by 5 PM the sign had to be down and $2000.00 taken to Stagg...Stagg??? What??? Why??? Prepared the friends helped her complete an impossible task. Receipt in hand at 6 PM the police came and arrested her anyway. Retribution for exposing Van Pelt online. Repayment for the wicked step mother investment in LMJC bank accounts because they also posted her criminal records online.

My every waking moment is to get these "men" off the bench. For the whole stories here are some links. VOTE NO TO RETAIN!
